Excellent points in this article. Of course gas prices are higher and they should be. Prices of all goods and services tend to go up each year and I think it is called inflation. The best advice is that we should consider being exposed to having some oil stocks in our portfolios. They tend to have a high dividend yield and I guess they could be considered to be a defensive stock in case the economy goes thru some rough spots due to higher interest rates. If liberals are so concerned go by a new Ford Hybrid Escape or even the Toyota Prius.
Gas prices rose fast and furious--that's NOT inflation. That's gouging. Also, see some of the other posts about current info concerning US subsidizing Iraqis $.05 per gallon gasoline cost.
